Truck to avoiding that is to never get gold. Took me 10 years to never get gold once. I’m good at what I don’t do.

Even if you don’t have shareholders yet, gotta brown nose before hand to impress them.

I don’t expect anything positive to come out of Reddit after the direction they chose to go. Spez has proven who he is and what’s important to him and that won’t change. I was just curious as to what effect no 3rd party apps was having on the user experience, since they kept saying it’s only 10% and that they didn’t care and wouldn’t be noticed.

Thanks, you said it better than I could.

That’s kinda what I figured, didn’t expect it to be a ghost town, so that makes sense.
I could tell by the loud users declaring that Reddit is gonna be better and everyone else were just whiners that content would slow down quite a bit. Didn’t get a vibe of those types putting out engaging content haha.

You better tell the mods to delete a good portion of the posts and this entire magazine then… I think it’s perfectly normal question to ask and be curious about, if you don’t want to hear about Reddit maybe don’t sub to this magazine and contribute to the conversation about it?

Reddit was something unique and personal to each user. Some it was new, some it was the only place to find specific tech or other advice that wasn’t corrupted by ads and algorithms on goggle and other big corporations.
Reddit was my way of disengaging from world news before I knew about anxiety, and how things could affect me and become personal even though I had no way to help world events. So I used it to personalize my mental diet, if I was creative I could sub to many craft subs like leather or metal etc, it’s where I went to get other perspectives on movies and content that I didn’t fully understand.
End of the day, is all that possible still on Reddit, kinda, but it’s going away, and they pushed me personally to leave as I could see it was becoming google/Facebook, ad algorithms to push what people pay for or get paid for. So time to reset.
Become involved, I’m way more involved and adding to discussions on the new sites I’m on. Everyone adding comments and posts and perspectives and opinions are building this up from bottom up.
You are the future, make your perspective part of the future by helping guide these new sites to something we can be proud of.
